Re: [GNC] Changing account numbers?

2019-02-21 Thread David Cousens
Dan, David

My bad. As David Carlson pointed out the real problem is resetting the
association of the OFX account name to a GnuCash account when importing data
and simply editing the name will likely not do that. I faced this a few
years ago when my credit card was hacked and used fraudulently. In my case I
was fortunate and even though the bank issued a new card and closed down the
old card and the account was ostensibly identified by the card number in
statements etc, in practice the account id used if the OFX files did not
change so importing data continued to work for me. That of course may not be
the case with all banks.

If you’ve selected the account number column to be displayed you can
even double click on it and change it there.

Kind regards

Re: [GNC] Are there any add-on modules for Gnucash

2019-02-21 Thread Adrien Monteleone
While there is the option to use a database backend, there is currently no 
support for *writing* to the db from anything other than GnuCash, it should 
only be read. (this will be possible eventually)

There is also a separate program called PieCash, but that too is for reading 
only.

The auto-fill feature helps considerably when entering transactions as does the 
Duplicate Transaction function. You’d either only need to change dates, or edit 
a few data points after filling or duplicating.

You can import transactions as well, so if you have some other software that is 
generating the activity, you might be able to massage it into debits and 
credits and use the importer. I would suspect a spreadsheet with a few macros, 
or even a text file with a script can do the job.

Otherwise, if you have a case of say, high volume day trading, you are probably 
limited to tracking most of the activity outside of GnuCash, generating daily 
net transactions and just entering/importing those.

Regards,
Adrien

Unfortunately there is another problem with 3.4 on Linux, in this case
Arch with KDE Plasma, Gnucash Build ID: git 3.4-22-g3ab5a2be5+ (2019-01-13)

When editing the register Description and Notes fields, if you select a
number of characters at the end of the pre-populated text field and then
press the Delete or Backspace keys to delete the selected characters and
retain the remaining characters, the selected text is deleted but a
number of remaining characters are selected. The desired result is to
delete the selected text and leave the cursor at the end of the string.

However, this doesn't happen 100% of the time and I've not been able to
determine the steps to always reproduce it.

Regards,

Richard

Re: [GNC] Closing books questions

If you don’t ‘close books’ there really aren’t any ‘brought forward’ numbers.

If your books don’t agree with your CPA, you’ll have to make the adjusting 
entries he recommends.


I think the latter are probably the issue.

Please confirm for us whether or not, when your accountant gave you 
"adjustments" you entered them. I think the confusion is about what the 
process was in the old days. Close the books (for external transactions) 
and then enter adjustment transactions.


The balances of the "standing account" (asset, liability, equity) are 
what would be "brought forward" to the start of the new accounting 
period. Those are what show on a "Balance Sheet"

[GNC] Are there any add-on modules for Gnucash

2019-02-21 Thread Harry Foerster
I'm currently running Gnucash 3.3 under Windows 10. Currently I would need
to do a large amount of manual entering/editing to record some investment
transactions I require. Are there any add-on modules available that
manipulate transactions and/or what programming language would be required
for my setup?
